The Bachelorette - Emily Maynard - Episode 4

Emily jet-setted all the guys to their first of many international stops on this journey to finding love.  Their first stop was beautiful BERMUDA!

Tonight's first one-on-one date was with Doug.

Emily felt that a one-on-one with him would clear some things up for her.  She thinks Doug is too perfect of a guy and wants to get the dirt on him.  After a day of shopping in St. George, Bermuda Emily surprised Doug with a post card.  Not a post card for him, but for his son.  She thought it would be neat to write his son back since he wrote her a letter first.  Doug was really touched at the sentiment. Later at dinner, Emily was still trying to get the dirt on Doug.  Doug struggled to bring up any dirt and still continued to have the perfect answer for everything.  Emily asked him "What would be your ex-girlfriend's biggest complaint about you?"  He smiled and said "That I spend too much time with my son and I didn't wash her car enough."  Playin' it safe, Doug.  In the end it paid off because he still ended up with a rose.

The group date consisted of Charlie, Ryan, Chris, Jef, Sean, Arie, Travis, and Kalon.  The boys were separated into two teams to compete for more time with Emily.  They were to race sail boats against each other and whichever team lost had to head back to the hotel for the rest of the day.  No one wanted that!  The boys got ready to compete.

In the end, the yellow team won and sent the red team back to the hotel.  The red team felt defeated and sad.

The yellow team consisted of Ryan, Jef, Arie, and Kalon.  The guys were happy to get more one-on-one time with Emily.  Jef, for example, had Emily all to himself on the beach and had great conversation.  However, he never moved in for a kiss.  This kind of disappointed Emily.  She's still wondering if he's really as into her as he says he is.

Arie was a little more productive with his time with Emily.  They pretty much made out the whole time.  They really have some great chemistry together.  They can't keep their hands off of each other.  I don't want to jump the gun or anything, but I'm pretty sure Arie is a front-runner.

Tonight's group date rose went to Jef.

The final date of the night was the dreaded two-on-one.  Nobody wanted that date.  They are always awkward.  It doesn't matter what they do to try to not make it awkward.  It's ALWAYS awkward.  The lucky guys to go on this one was John and Nate.

They spent their awkward date going sailing and cliff jumping.  They all just wanted the date to be over.  They tried to enjoy dinner in a cave, but no one seemed to want to eat.  With the rose sitting there on the table they couldn't focus on their food.  Nate got to talk to Emily one-on-one first and opened up to her about his family and friends and how much they meant to him.  He even got emotional about it.  Yup, that's right folks.  He got emotional.  He cried.  Like a baby.  John must've impressed Emily more though because in the end she gave him the rose.  Nate had to sail on home alone.

The cocktail party proved to be pretty interesting.  Lots of conversations taking place.  Ryan thinks he's just God's gift to man.  Did we hear enough about how great of a catch he is?  Yes, I think we did.

Emily got to smooch on Sean.  Apparently they are getting closer.

Chris sat Doug down for a little chat.  Chris is upset with Doug and his comments about how young he is (he's only 25).  Doug is 33 and so much more mature than Chris and he likes to point that fact out.  Chris is tired of it and stood his ground.  Tension.

The guys that got sent home tonight were: Nate, Charlie, and Michael.  (we were a little shocked by Charlie!)

Next week the guys and Emily head to London, England!  Good times.
